  3. Above the building (now Broncos) on the corner of West Street and Carver Lane there is a monogram S1B (?). I am sure that it is blinding obvious but ... please enlighten me. It is the "1" that is throwing me. Thanks

    Cadman Lane

    Thought i`d have a look on Google Earth at the exact location of Cadman Street to get an idea of the area in tozzins enquiry! by mistake i searched Cadman Lane, which took me to the lane behind the Graduate Pub on Surrey Street, i was intrigued by the brickwork on the rear of the pub, can anyone tell me if this is an extension to the building or is it part of the original building? A couple of photographs, one from Google Earth showing the brickwork and one from Bing Maps showing the buildings location.
  8. Hi does anyone have any information about a location known as Crooked Steps? It is shows as an ancestors address in the 1881 Census and listed as Harvest Lane. I've checked out Picture Sheffield but couldn't find any pics specifically listed as Crooked Steps. I know it was/is hilly around there so I'm guessing there literally were a set of crooked steps, it just seems odd to have as an address. Thanks in advance!
  9. Hi, Have just joined this group. I am looking where I can find photographs of Water Lane, Sheffield. Around the period 1870-1890. Any assistance would be most welcome.
  10. My Dad having been demobbed from the RAF quickly returned to his old job with ESC and since children were allowed in their sports club,providing they were with parents I spent hours there….Mum and Dad had a drink of beer and I had a Vimto . As they had a dance on Saturday evenings I learned to dance there,play snooker and ,in summer ,enjoyed the extensive playing fields with tennis ,bowls and acres of football, rugby and cricket pitches. Competitive athletics took place at their annual Gala Day which was a big local event with side shows ,ice cream and all the fun of the fair. Other steel companies had their clubs….Sadly, I think they have all now gone but ESC was an important part of my childhood.
  11. I'm interested in Harmer Lane at the minute and finding information quite difficult to find. Does anyone know when the area was demolished? Any information would be gratefully received. Thank you
  12. Hi all, I recently (around 3 years ago) moved to the corner of Derbyshire lane just as it turns into Hemsworth Road. The Mrs's mother says she remembers visiting our house and the one next door on way to and from school as they were both a sweet shop and a flower shop. Would anyone have any photos of this? My neighbor says she does have photos which are in loft and I've pestered quite a while to see them but i don't want to keep going on. I've tried searching on here but with no luck so far. I really would love to see these photos to show the mother in law and perhaps get them printed and placed somewhere in the house. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  13. Whenever I drive along Yew Lane, in Parson Cross, I am amazed at how wide it is between the houses on each side. Does anybody have any ideas?
  14. I can remember a few years ago now the D.I.Y. shop on Campo Lane, it was called Silverstones, it was a very popular shop for home improvement enthusiast but probably because of big stores opening up it took its toll on Silverstones and the shop closed, it stood empty and boarded up for a while - but - a film crew arrived and Silverstones was chosen to be dressed for scenes in the film and here’s my problem, I can’t for the life of me remember what the film was called or who starred in it, can anybody enlighten me?
  15. Does anyone know whereabouts on Claywheels Lane they were located?
  16. Does anyone have any information about the so called 'Dry Cottages' on Trap Lane. We walk quite frequently down Trap Lane and have noticed what appear to be well built steps and wall remains. We were once informed by passers by that there were a number of cottages just up from the Meadow Farm on Whitely Wood Road. They were supposedly not connected to a water supply and so got their name. I tried to find an early map but was unsuccessful. Any ideas?

    Hanwell's Coal Delivery

    Does anyone remember this firm, based in the East of the City, but I'm not cerrtain where. This photograph is the only clue to the existence of tjhe firm, taken, by the looks of it, in the 1920s or 1930s
  18. I recently bought 'Sheffield: Emerging City (1969)' on how post-war rebuilding was going and what they planned to do for the future, which other than being a brilliant book, revealed old plans as they were in mid-flow. I was reading it and found in their overall plans that there was a side-plan to relocate West Street at the junction with Fitzwilliam Street via Broomspring lane, creating a new junction on the ring road where Hanover Street becomes Upper Hanover street. I wondered if anyone knew anything more about where this road would go or if anyone had any more details of the plan or whether it was just a brief side-note on the diagram. It also shows that (as originally planned in 'Sheffield Replanned (1945)') there would be another street or entrance way to the city along Wellingon Street which again is nowhere to be found. Photos attached, any information would be greatly appreciated. - I wonder if it would join Glossop road near the Hallamshire and be a dual carriageway along Manchester Road. The overall plan in two parts for the A61(M.) The area in question With the routes highlighted The diagram from 'Sheffield: Emerging City (1969)' The new street along Wellington Street as seen in 'Sheffield Replanned (1945)' And again from another angle And here as part of the overall development map
  19. I wonder if anyone remembers the above? We called it the "drink shop" and it was run by "Aunt" Gladys and her sister. This tiny shop, with a bench seat along one wall,was where we bought our 2 oz of rationed sweets, our ice cream cornets, pop and ,when available, a glass of sarsparilla. Aunt Gladys was a lovely woman who, having one of the first TV sets in Firth Park, would occasionally invite a few of us regular kids into her back room to watch BBC Childrens TV and have ,as a treat, one of her home made ice lolly's.

    Thomas Lane

    Afternoon all! I'm not sure if this is the right place for a request, but here goes. My Grandad's family lived on Thomas Street for a number of decades, stretching from around 1895 to the 1930s, but afterwards they relocated to Thomas Lane, which was a little Street between Bath Street and Egerton Street, Broomhall. Anyway, it turns out that they were living at number 5, as confirmed by both the 1939 Register, family documents, and a rather interesting newspaper article from that year. I've had a bit of trouble pinpointing the location of number 5 Thomas Lane, as there are no references to it being in a court, and no specific photographs of the street exist (I've included two from Britain from Above.) Even the 1905 Goad fire insurance maps cut off right before the street is covered! I was wondering if anyone on here knew any more about the area, or where the house might have been? Thanks, Lewis Waddingham
  21. Does anyone have any other information or ideally a photo of The Bacchus Public House on Holly Lane in Sheffield City Centre? (between the back of Sheffield City Hall and West Street) As you can see by the auction poster the Jolly Bacchus Pub and outbuildings were auctioned off in 1870 and I wondered what Holly Lane would have looked like back then The poster reads: Valuable freehold premises in Holly Street and Holly Lane to be sold by auction, by Messrs W. H. and J. A. Eadon at their auction mart, St James’ Street, Sheffield, on Thursday, October 20, 1870 at four o’clock in the afternoon, by order of the Devisees in Trust under the will of the elate Mr Joseph Bendelow, subject to the conditions of sale - the public House with the yard and outbuildings thereto, known by the sign of The Jolly Bacchus. Situate in Holly Lane, Sheffield, in the occupation of Messrs Williams Greaves and Co., or their undertenants, as yearly tenants; and eight messuages or tenements, with a warehouse and other buildings, two of the houses being used as retail shops, and fronting to and being Nos 34 and 38 in Holly Street, Sheffield, and in the respective occupations of Messrs Wood and Furguson, and the others being in the yard behind, and in the respective occupations of Messrs Fowler, Osborn, Underwood, and Large, and comprising the premises whereon the late Mr Joseph Bendelow carried on for many years the business of a plasterer and whitewasher. The site of the whole of the premises, which extend from Holly Street to Holly Lane, contains 482 superficial square yards or thereabouts. Further particulars may be obtained from the auctioneers; or from Messrs Brown and Son, solicitors, 1 St James Street, Sheffield. J. M. Jubb, Printer, Prior Court, High Street, Sheffield.
